Consider a Thyroid self test

Calcium is more easily assimilated if you have a functioning Thyroid. You can have a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test, performed by your physician, and you can do a couple of home test on your own. Shake your thermometer down upon retiring for the night. In the morning before any activity, place the thermometer under your arm for ten minutes. You should anticipate a temperature of ninety-seven point eight or higher. Next, place on your abdomen, a small area, the size of a half dollar, tincture of iodine. If the iodine continues to be visible after eighteen hours, your thyroid is functioning. If your thyroid has been removed, you might want to consider oxbile for digestion. The endocrine system requires a delicate balance of hormones, so keep your system balanced.

Consider Cows Milk in your Vegetarian Diet

Being an old farm boy from Kansas and knowing the difference between a Jersey and a Holstein breed of cow is like distinguishing between a McDonnell Douglas F15 and a Fairchild Wort Hog. Both of these breeds produce Milk for their young and is the nutrient liquid secreted by the mammary glands of most female mammals. The female’s ability to produce milk is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to digest more diverse foods. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in both the mother and baby. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of unsaturated fat, protein and calcium. Jersey cows produce a lower volumn, but a higher fat content in their milk and as a result, higher price at the market. Bovine growth hormone “BGH”, is a protein hormone that occurs naturally in the pituitary glands of cattle. It is a factor controlling the amount of milk produced by a dairy cow. Bovine somatotropin occurs naturally in the milk extracted from a cow. A synthetic version of BGH is injected into cows to increase milk production artificially. Lactose is a simple sugar that is present in all milk of the species of origin, and is digested with the help of the enzyme lactase. The production of this enzyme declines significantly after weaning in all mammals, including human beings. Lactose intolerance is the condition in which lactase is not produced in adulthood. With lactose intolerance, the result of consuming too much lactose is excess gas production and often diarrhea. Lactose-intolerant adults can drink about a cup of milk per day without severe problums. Some of the problums incountered are intestinal colic, intestinal irritation, intestinal bleeding, anemia, allergic reactions in infants and children as well as infections such as salmonella. Contaminated milk by blood and white (pus) cells as well as a variety of chemicals and insecticides are supposed to be rendered harmless by pasteurization. We should all observe that in nature nursing is provided for only the very youngest of mammals. Perhaps you should also consider that the bovine leukemia virus is found in more than three out of five dairy cows in the United States! This involves about 80% of dairy herds. Another result of consuming milk is the blood sugar spike that milk produces, and that the promoters don’t mention because they are promoting calcium phosphate. Human milk contains, on the average, 1.1% protein, 4.2% fat, 7.0% lactose, and will supply 72 kcal of energy per 100 grams. Cow's milk contains, on the average, 3.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 4.6% lactose, and will supply 66 kcal of energy per 100 grams. Like the F15 and the Worth Hog, avoid receiving the product of these money making machines! Do not clog your arteries with dairy fat.

Consider a two-step organic method to control Fire Ants

The first step is to drench the offending mounds with a combination of a gallon of compost tea, 2 ounces of Orange Oil and a tablespoon of liquid dish soap used as a drench will eliminate the majority of Fire Ants from the average size mound in one application. A couple of repeated applications and the population will be totally annihilated. To make compost tea, fill a container with one-third organic material, preferably a cow manure compost, which can be purchased at any garden center, but any good organic compost will serve the purpose. Brew this mixture for about 2 weeks, stirring it at least once a day or more often if possible. After 2 weeks strain the liquid through muslin or a pair of old panty hose and add the 2 ounces of Orange Oil and one tablespoon of dish soap to each gallon of "tea" to be used as a drench. Drenching works best in the spring and fall when the ants are most active. The second step is the application of Beneficial Nematodes. Beneficial Nematodes are predatory worms which use Fire Ant Larva, eggs and immature Fire Ants as host for their reproductive cycle. They are very prolific and will eliminate any Fire Ants not killed by drenching the Fire Ant mounds. Use this combination; you will find it effective and organically safe for you and the environment around you.
